2 answers:
Larry needs to score 33 points in the last game to have an average of 25 PPG.
To find the answer, we can solve the equation:
<em />(where <em>p</em> is how many points he needs to score in the last game)
To find the mean of a group of numbers, you add them all up and divide the total by the number of numbers there are. Since Larry averaged 23 PPG in 4 games, we can multiply 23 by 4 to get the total of the first 4 games from the data. Then, we find <em>p</em>, which we will add to get our final total. Then, you divide by the 5 games.
First, I simplified 4 x 23 to get 92. Then, I multiplied each side by 5 to get rid of the denominator. Finally, I subtracted 92 from each side to isolate <em>p</em>, and found that <em>p</em> = 33.

Reduce each ratio to its minimum expression to find if they are equal.
35:28
10:8
Since both ratios reduce to 5:4, they are equivalent.
Another way to check a:b is equivalent to c:d, is that a*d = b*c
In this case, this will be true if 35 times 8 is equal to 10 times 28:
Since both products are equal, then the ratios are equivalent.
